In my professional work I hear so many sad stories of relationship break-ups which are even sadder if chidren are involved.
If things have gone wrong between you it's not an easy journey back.
You also have to ask yourself if you are really willing to make the effort to get back to enjoying a positive loving relationship again.
If you have to think about this question too long then maybe its time to cut the ties and let go.
If you are willing to try again, although it may seem an impossible task at first, there are simple changes you can try that could have an almost immediate effect.
Here are 10 tried and tested tips that you can do now to put the spark back and make your relationship bullet proof again:
1. Start dating each other again. Do you remember how much effort you put into relationships then? The time you spent getting ready and making yourself look good for your partner? Go on some dates and make the same effort you did first time around.
2. Say sorry. It doesn't matter whose fault it is. Just apologise.
3. Be there. Many relationships fail because people get absorbed in their own world. You need to be there for your partner. Offer genuine loving support.
4. Write love notes to each other. They don't have to be soppy Shakespeare type sonnets: just say how much you appreciate what your partner does for you.
5. Cook a meal together. Cooking is a great way to get closer and chat about your day.
6. Talk to one another. Ask your partner questions about their day and be fascinated by their reply. Really listen. Do not have one eye on the TV or be absorbed in a newspaper.
7. Give genuine compliments. Tell your partner what you like not, not what's wrong.
8. Cut down on watching TV. Sit together, not at opposite ends of the room! Hold hands and cuddle up - as you used to once at the start of your relationship
9. Remember what was right about you two when you first started off. By going to the best bits of your past you can create a better brighter future.
10. Never criticise your partner in front of or to other people. Have respect it works wonders.
